A healthy young man who 'loved life' tragically took his own life at a country park in Stockport after sending a heart breaking final Snapchat message to his girlfriend. Jake Burton, 24 was discovered dead in Reddish Vale Country Park in the early hours of July 9 last year by a dog walker.
The man, who didn't have a history of mental health issues, was found dead with a very high level of cocaine and alcohol in his system, Manchester Evening News reports. Jake had been at a party with his on and off girlfriend the night before his death where he had consumed both drugs and the couple had fallen out after getting into an argument, an inquest at Stockport Coroner's Court heard.
The girlfriend temporarily blocked his number before receiving a Snapchat message from Jake on July 9 at around 6am with a rope around his neck. She contacted his mother, Debbie Burton and they both went to Reddish Vale Park where the 24-year-old was tragically found dead.
